The first deed for Hantsport was registered in 1789 in the name of Edward Barker, founder of the town. Hantsport, however was not incorporated until 1895; it was the smallest incorporated town in Canada.

In the late 1800s Hantsport became a shipbuilding town with two main yards: the E. Churchill & Sons Shipyards and the J.B. North Shipyards, and smaller yards. Hantsport was the fifth most important shipbuilding centre in the world with over 200 of the finest barques, brigs and schooners built here by master craftsmen.
